Merge Bastion
A merge-and-defend strategy game: buy turrets, drag identical ones together to level them up and hold the wall against waves of cute monsters. A wave director hunts your weakest lane.
Merge Bastion mixes a merge puzzle with lane defence. You start with a single gun and a handful of coins. Buy a random turret, or pay a premium to choose gun, cannon, frost or arc, then drag two identical turrets onto each other to merge them into a stronger one. Guns fire fast, cannons splash groups, frost slows whatever it touches and arc bolts chain between enemies. Every turret shoots up its own lane and the lanes beside it.
The enemies are not random. A wave director budgets each wave, mixes in runners that rush a lane in packs, shielded tanks, splitters that burst into minis and healers you should shoot first, then aims them at the lane where your firepower is thinnest. Bosses arrive every fifth wave. After each wave you choose one of three perks, such as faster loaders, bigger shells, cheaper turrets, lucky merges or a free level two turret, so every run grows differently. Call the next wave early for bonus coins when you feel safe.
It suits fans of merge games and tower defence who like thinking about spacing, selling weak turrets and timing upgrades. Tip: keep at least a little coverage in every lane and save your best merges for the lane the director keeps targeting. Your furthest wave and highest turret level are saved.
How to play
Click or tap BUY to place a random turret, or a type chip to choose one for extra coins. Drag a turret onto an identical one to merge them, drag to the bin to sell, or tap a turret to auto-merge with a twin. Enemies that reach the wall cost lives. Clear each wave, pick a perk, and keep every lane covered for as long as you can.
